I just wanted to say that I found the video to be really interesting. I like the ATS street view a lot. It's really intelligent. I liked the kinds of responses people gave when they were asked to justify why they believed in global warming or why they didn't believe in it. Some people just believed in it because they thought it was true and had no justification for it. Other people mentioned how it was getting warmer when it shouldn't be and said it was a threat. That one guy that spoke about how Al Gore was doing it to make money made some really interesting points. I agree that global warming is a concern but we also have to be concerned about people profiteering over it. I really liked that segment.

I also liked how people even knew that what they were eating was bad for them but they still ate their anyways. They knew that McDonalds has all these chemicals in there but now we know the reason why they do it. They eat there because it's cheap. They don't eat their because the food tastes really good or it's addicting. That video segment makes me harbor less negative feelings towards people who eat at McDonalds. They aren't mindless sheep. They're just doing it because they have no real alternatives to McDonalds. That one guy made a really good point though in that Burger King does the same thing and that people shouldn't only be going after McDonalds. I really loved that whole segment as well.

I agree. I noticed that too! It was kind of scary to actually see some people just say they believed in global warming just because Al Gore said so, or just because it was pop culture and cool and what not. There were people who had justifications for it... but like it's amazing how easy it is to tell when someone is uninformed about an issue or not.

I really love the show! Keep it up! I can't wait for the next issue. It's so much fun actually seeing what the average person thinks about these things.

I just have one criticism: try to be less confrontational. I'd agree with people that you should try to ask people about what they think about at first... and then maybe be confrontational after they've said something and you know what they think. That's just my $.02.

Great work. Well conceived, produced, presented.

A key addition to ATS media diversity. ...and it motivates me to get back to my own stuff.

Ideas for Next Street View



When will it be by the way?

Idea 1) Do the citizens of New York know what Bisepanol A (BPA) is, and that 90% of them will be showing traces of it in their bodies?

Ans: Probably not, and it is a sex hormone present in most of your food packaging.

BPA Thread

Idea 2) Do the citezens of New York know that their soldiers are being killed in Afghanistan in order to make money for China?

Ans: Probably not, but it is the truth.

The Truth About Afghanistan: All the Evidence You Need

Idea 3) Do the citizens of New York feel like they have got a choice as to who they buy their products from, hear music by and get their news from?

Ans: PROBABLY NOT.

I really like these questions. We will be posting the 3rd episode very soon, and we ask some questions about Afghanistan. This week we focused on the Wiki Leaks Files. The answer to your third questions might surprise you when we ask new yorkers next week.

As I continue to talk to people on the street I find they are more informed than I expected. Most New Yorkers I meet have a thirst for knowledge and culture that goes deeper than i have seen in many other regions. That is not to say that all new yorkers have the most keen research and information gathering skills.

Carlitmoore I will definitely work your questions into my list next week. Thank you very much!

Hey, thanks for the reply Mr. Douglas!

Just noticed episode 3 is up, I will be watching tomorrow!

In regard to my last post, all three subjects have been woven into one thread concerning Foreign Nation Building:

The Biggest Fraud In History ~ And We Have All Fallen For It! (Ultimate Conspiracy)

I think you are after more direct questions though, so I will have a think. Its good to know you are open to ideas, I like that. There should be a suggestion thread so that you don't have people like me bothering you all the time!

Liked the McDonalds topic by the way

Watched the video, and it is obvious at least those New Yorkers who were interviewed have no real knowledge about Global Warming/AGW. One of them even says it is a trend, another one said that even though he knows Al Gore is getting rich off AGW/Global Warming that he believes everything Al Gore says...

Even after the scandals most people are not educated at all about the subject. No wonder the rich elites are so confident that their global plans for a One World government will come to pass. The average person, all over the world not only in the U.S., has been brainwashed to no end that there is no possibility for people waking up to the scam that is AGW/Global Warming.

I would like to know Bonnie, and Douglas(?) reasons for believing in Global Warming/AGW. What do they consider as proof that Anthropogenic Global Warming is happening, or has been happening?

Also, why didn't you guys mention the Climategate scandal?

I thought you were going to ask questions about Afghanistan. Maybe I missed it.

In any case, here is something for you to chew on.

I believe the reason for the campaign in Afghanistan has recently become more evident.

"The United States has discovered nearly $1 trillion in untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan, far beyond any previously known reserves..."
www.nytimes.com...

So what is the connection? It goes like this.

Afghanistan has an annual GDP of only $12 billion. Most of that is from their cash crop of opium producing plants.

In all, over the last decade, there has been an outside struggle of power, the battle of the superpowers, virtually setting a geo-political dominance in the region. The country that has the control of the region wins and claims dominion over the vast untapped riches beneath Afghanistan's soil.

If 9 years ago our federal government told us "Hey there is a trillion dollars of untapped minerals in Afghanistan and we are going to go steal it" what would the people have said in response?

Now, if our military is there, for what is now the longest war in American history, and when we feel confident enough that we have dominated the region, it is easy to say "Hey look what we found!"

So over the years we make sure we kiss Afghan butt and protect, help produce and help distribute their cash crop of opium to the world, www.youtube.com... Why? In exchange for a great deal on lithium, which is reported in Afghanistan to be one of the worlds largest deposits.

So what does this lead to? USA currently only has 2% of the world market on lithium batteries, however, as part of the plan that is now being vocalized, we have several manufacturing sites being built and are near completion. When they started being built, I don't know, but it is obvious the plan was waiting for the right time to be revealed.

Bill Clinton, a currently unelected public official upstaged President Obama at a recent public address. Apparently Obama did not have the right answers as Bill took control of the address. Obama voluntarily yielded the podium to Bill.

Bill brings up the battery plants nearing completion that would put the US's market share at 20% nearly right away and further lays claim that the US market share would reach 40% by as early as 2014.
www.nypost.com...

Our federal government has never been good at running a business for profit. How many trillions have we spent to gain access to this rich untapped mineral farm? In the effort of job creation, which of course the federal government will expect a pat on the back, how many lives have been lost?

The sad thing is, most people will ignore those facts, and in fact, praise Obama once again. This could be what gets Obama back in the running for a second term, and a miracle of epic proportions will have been executed in changing public opinion of a president, when the cold truth will be that the jobs created in the battery market that "save this country" cost well over a million lives on foreign soil. That, in my opinion, constitutes war crimes on a level that our current generations have not seen.
